Chapter 41 Cycle

"Damn, this plot is so inappropriate!"

Originally, Ye Wuchen was about to reveal the real murderer, but in just five seconds, it turned into debris on the ground, causing the secret to be completely sealed...

I looked around briefly and found nothing unusual.

"It really feels like Conan. You are about to tell the murderer, but then you die inexplicably... At least you die after you finish talking!"

He didn't mind the musty smell, so he squatted down half-crouched, holding a flashlight with little remaining power in his left hand, and rummaged through the pile of debris with his right hand.

Soon, he made a new discovery.

[Name: Rusty Key]

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Average]

[Explanation: An old cross-shaped key has been rusted for a long time. It is difficult to imagine what it was used to open many years ago]

[Can the script be brought out: No]

[Note: Comes with keys, do you want them? How many keys?]

"This comment is getting more and more outrageous..." Jian Yan picked up the key and wiped off some rust with scraps of cloth to make it look less dirty.

The cross-shaped key can obviously be used to open the locked bungalow in the courtyard.

Ye Wuchen's words before his death contained too much information. Not only did they not solve his problem, but they also brought up several difficult-to-answer doubts:

How could Ye Wuchen be trapped in the villa for seventy years without changing his appearance?

What does he mean by "it's all this day"?

Regarding these five words, the first word that comes to mind is "circulation".

"Before going upstairs, the tea cup on the table is still steaming..." He walked towards the corridor on the right and said to himself:

"The house is almost not damaged, and the courtyard is also very tidy..." Jian Yan played with the keys in his hand, "If he just lived normally, Ye Wuchen would not have to clean the yard, nor would he have the tools to repair the house. It would have been impossible for the house to be so complete in seventy years...

"

In the end, Ye Wuchen's rapid aging also showed that he himself could not control the mansion, or even control himself.

The problem is not with him.

Then there is only one possibility left: there is something wrong with the villa itself.

It was not Ye Wuchen himself who was circulating, but this villa.

Therefore, the tea will return to a warm state and the house will not look shabby!

Combined with Ye Wuchen's words "It's all this day", Jian Jian came to an unexpected but reasonable conclusion:

He murmured to himself: "This villa will return to the state of the previous day every day, so...Ye Wuchen feels like he is living the same day?"

[The secret "Ye Wuchen's cycle" has been cracked, and mission three is confirmed to be completed]

[Task 3: Find out the reason for the strange phenomenon in this villa, completed]

After the system prompt ended, Jian Yi clearly saw that the "Task 2" in the taskbar completely disappeared.

This also confirmed that his guess was correct, Ye Wuchen had indeed gone through a cycle.

But it is not time that circulates, but the environment.

Judging from how excited he was after seeing him, it was easy to judge that he might not have seen a living person for many years.

What needs to be solved most right now is the main task one, which is the truth about the murder.

"Hiss...are all gone?"

Jian Jian looked at the bare wall in front of her: "Both rooms have disappeared?"

The right corridor, which originally contained two rooms, is now empty. The walls are completely integrated, with no trace of the two doors just now.

Hallucination?

Jian Yi pinched herself hard.

It really hurts.

Although it seems extremely incredible, it just happened.

Once supernatural beings can change reality, they are no longer just things to scare people, but real demons.

Looking at the empty corridor in front of him, Jian Yan suddenly thought of something and ran back to the hall as fast as he could.

Sure enough, the stairs leading downstairs were still there, but the stairs leading upstairs disappeared, as if the entire third floor of the villa never existed and was just a dream.

The search that might have lasted at least half an hour came to an end in this ridiculous fifteen minutes.

This mysterious force has affected reality more than once, creating a cycle, killing Ye Wuchen, and completely disappearing the two rooms on the third and second floors...

No matter from which perspective, it is not an existence that can be ignored.

Obviously, Jian Jian has only one choice now: go downstairs in advance to meet the duo, and then use the key just found from Ye Wuchen's remains to open the door of the bungalow to unlock the next clue.

But this seems a little too smooth.

It's like someone is adding fuel to the fire, letting them get to the end of the game smoothly, and then forget the truth in the mansion.

Who is behind all this?

Preventing the simple destruction of corpses and having extreme hatred for Ye Wuchen...

Who deliberately hid the room in the corridor on the right and closed the passage to the third floor?

A terrifying thought slowly emerged in Jian Yuan's mind.

He stopped walking down the stairs and returned to the study in the corridor on the left. By the way, he called up the completed side mission:

[Explore the extraordinary thing about Qianluoshan: what you say will be regarded as a wish come true]

After they entered the villa, the rule "g will be regarded as a wish" failed. This can be reflected whether Zhao Zichao talked nonsense on the first floor or talked to himself upstairs.

In this house, the power of the mountain god failed.

Therefore, it can basically be concluded that the so-called "god" of Qianluoshan is not controlling this villa.

In other words, there is someone else who makes the villa enter the cycle.

Who is it?

There are very few people who appear in the plot so far, including the mountain god, Ye Wuchen, Ye Wuchen’s unknown son, the wealthy businessman who is married to...

Jian Yan picked up a few pieces of letter paper he had collected and put them into his pocket. He clenched his fists and seemed to have made up his mind.

The best hunters often appear as prey.

Due to the overwhelming sympathy of human beings, they will always exclude the victim from the scope of suspects. This is the so-called "victim innocence theory."

However, the set theory only applies to the same case and is not suitable for a combination of multiple cases.

Seventy years ago, a person could be a victim, but seventy years later, that person could also be the real murderer behind the scenes.

He had hatred for Ye Wuchen and was extremely concerned about Ye Nanan's body...

There is only one person who meets the conditions.

"Come out, Miss Ye Nan'an," Jian Yi said with a strange curve at the corner of her mouth, "Or maybe I'll call you... a corpse?"

A group of gray-black mist faintly seeped out of the wall of the corridor on the right.

It floated slowly towards the center of the second-floor hall, confronting Jian Jian.

Jian Yi's smile became more and more obvious: "From the moment we entered the villa, I gave myself the attitude of a victim, which made me preconceptions that all supernatural events can be attributed to unknown mountain gods, so I naturally ignored the identity of the deceased..."

The gray air is gradually condensing.
